Intel's stock surged 369% driven by strong demand for its traditional Xeon CPUs used in AI inference servers, overshadowing setbacks in its specialized AI chip project, Gaudi. While the market initially focused on Intel's slower-than-expected AI chip adoption and cancellation of next-gen versions, management highlighted the growing importance of CPUs for AI inference workloads.
